J.S. Bach/Vivaldi - Concerto in A Minor, BWV 593: I. Allegro

[protrudingears]

This piece is my favorite

[Panoramix67]

Sublime!

[AdmRomulus]

Interesting, that's the first organ I've ever seen with a back on its bench.

[spoofer47]

@AdmRomulus You're kidding, right?

[NoemiSaray]

NO TENGO PALABRAS PARA DESCRIBIR ESTO, ES ABSOLUTAMENTE ALGO IMPRESIONANTE, GRACIAS POR TU MÚSICA.

[NoemiSaray]

MARAVILLOSO!!

[Johlies]

And, for the record, this concerto is on point.



[Johlies]

The tempo is completely fine.

[robertgift]

Why so fast? Ain't no race.

Wonderful.

Play notes for their FULL value. Don't releasearly to geto the next note.

When you play this fromemory, you willisten to what is actually being played and improve.

Wish this were in a acoustically live room. Would be glorius.

Zoom the camera in more.

[spoofer47]

@robertgift Anything else you don't particularly like?

[robertgift]

@spooferIQ47 Notice "Wonderful" and "Would be glorius".

Yes, place the light higher.

It's interesting that tempo always seems to be a hot discussion topic for this piece. I agree both with people saying that this is too fast and, the more rare opinion, too slow. Her tempo is a bit of a compromize between the tempo usually played for the organ arrangement by Bach and the original Vivaldi piece. I actually think it's really nice to do this because it preserves the spirit of both masterpieces at the same time.

[lesdotwest]

Good old Bach, triumphed again!!



[Arjunai]

very good, very joyfull!!!:-)

[ladynipchick]

Excellent! This is how I love to hear organ played - with joy and force, and speed when appropriate. This reminds me of one of the best organists of all time: Wolgang Rubsam. Well done. And thank-you.

[chairday]

too fast but there are some big intervals. Difficult take it at all.

[deejayjeroen]

She plays very well, Good to listen at this beautiful piece of masterwork on Organ.

[8888Rik]

I think this rather a bit too fast, and I absolutely agree with the comment about detailing the phrases. It's played very well, but in a bit of a blur of notes. I felt I kept losing my breath.

Still, she does a great job with a stunning piece.

[Casavantorgan]

Well played from a technical point of view. It would be better if she played the accoustics in the room and spent time detailing the phrases. The accoustics in part determine the tempo of the piece, when the reverberation falls on the beat the mechanical organ comes alive rhythmically and musically.

[LLL78]

It's not enough to know the piece technically, you should give a sense to it. It sounds to me as if a machine played. No soul, no passion, no expressive power.

[Fredie0407]

great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rockmuonli]

wooow

[SHIKISHIMA1990]

nice

[sanctumovdarkness]

Very good.

[verschillend78]

Boring. This is why people don't like the organ anymore. In most hands, it's ceased to be a musical instrument. No creativity.

[ngroschen]

And the beauty of the music isn't worth it in and of itself?

[juliuszjakobiak]

Witam, można poznać kto to gra?

Try using some fifteenths and mixtures!!

[shocknit2dacurb]

Beautiful music, beautiful execution! Thank you for playing this great piece conceived by Vivaldi and recognized by Bach who transcribed it masterfully for the organ. Thank God for music like this!

[asgjdas]

Beautiful!

[jimbobboyorganist]

I like this performance even better than Koopman and others! (But don't tell anyone!)
